I don't even know now to begin describing episode two of Jmac's Arcade (Missile Command) other than it being a wonderful retrospective of both the game and of growing up in the 80s under the shadow of nuclear annihilation.That was cool. I like arcade music from the eighties. I loved wandering around and watching the various games. I rarely played them, but I liked watching others play. For the music, there is a site called the Arcade Ambience Project. It seeks to provide that feeling of walking around an arcade by pulling music from games played in MAME and fading the various games in and out like you are walking through the arcade. I find it very relaxing to work while listening to it. There are three tracks, 1981, 1983 and 1986. Each is about an hour long and available here.
